For your side projects, what do you use for payment processing?

Stripe is easy and straightforward, though their subscription messaging stuff is less well documented than I'd like. Their "typical workflows" aren't as typical as I would have expected, and presume a level of integration with Stripe that isn't a given.

But for its core value prop, payment processing, it's great. You can work around the rest.

I am tempted to use Paddle for my next side project simply because it handles the tax implications as a merchant of record.

I like low hassle!

Stripe is the easiest way for me. Tried some other options like lemonsqueezy but stripe still was the most straightforward.
